HEATHER BERRY Midwife Tongue Tie Home Visits West Sussex

What I Do

Pregnancy Health

Assessing you and your baby’s health throughout your pregnancy is vital midwifery care. Independent private antenatal visits are in your home. I can conduct physical checks, develop a birthing plan with you and help you consider life with a baby. Tell me your pronouns so that my language is appropriate.

Labour and Birth

Where do you plan to labour and birth your baby? How can I support you to achieve your aims. If complexities exist how might that impact on you ... what plans are right for YOU.

Postpartum and Newborn Care

My job isn’t done once you have birthed your baby and placenta. I will stay with you for an agreed length of time to provide any assistance you might need tor to assist with initial breast/chest/bottle feeding. During this time health checks can be completed as necessary then a plan made for future visits. I am trained to complete the newborn initial physical examination (NIPE).

Feeding Assessments

Holistic Feeding Assessment including oral examination for babies and infants up to one year of age. A sustainable strategy will be developed with you. Release of Tongue Tie where appropriate .

Care

Antenatal

Care can start as soon as you are pregnant. If you have had previous complexities we can also discuss possible options during the time that you are trying to conceive.
